About This Home
A true Old Town treasure tucked away in one of the most coveted corners of Key West's Historic District, this charming 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage offers everything on your wishlist: a prime location, timeless character, a private heated pool surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, gated off-street parking, and rare dual access from both Carsten Lane and Carey Lane for ultimate convenience and flexibility.This historic structure features original Dade County pine walls and floors, cathedral ceilings, skylights that bathe the home in natural light, and a vintage clawfoot tub. Nearly every room opens to vibrant gardens, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection that reflects the relaxed island ambience and lifestyle of Key West.Upstairs, a 250 sq. ft. open-air sunroom feels like a private treetop sanctuary. Nestled among swaying palms and fruit trees, it overlooks the sparkling concrete pool below and offers a breezy retreat perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The mature canopy provides natural shade and privacy, keeping the space cool and tranquil--even on the warmest days.Thoughtfully designed to blend comfort with historic coastal charm, this sun-filled oasis is just steps from the Historic Seaport, world-class dining, and beloved neighborhood shops and cafes. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a romantic escape, or a smart investment, this gem is the essence of Key West Island life.
